Couldn't Make It Up
Mr Fruit, received a letter, through the post today, for a hospital appointment 2 hours after he should of been there, no phone call, no text just a letter for an appointment he wasn't even expecting.

I was told I would hear from them in about three weeks. 10 days later I got a letter from them telling me my aapointment was on the 9/8/2014. I rang them that day (a story in itself) and told them that I was immensely clever but I was not a time traveller. They took it as the joke I meant it to be but after hanging on the phone for ages they gave me an excuse which was obviousy garbage. No problem they gave me another date* (by letter) which was for a few days time. Today I recieved another letter telling me that 'Due to the alteration of a clinic session, the following appointment* has been cancelled. They gave me a new date. Great, but it's the same date and time!
No bother, but I hope I don't turn up for nothing.
If the letter was dated 18th it might not have made that day's collection and been collected the following day so that would have been the Thursday.
If it had been sent Second Class, it should have been delivered on Saturday but there's no guarantee.
I would complain about the short notice and ask that future. appointment letters be sent out in plenty of time or by text message.
It costs the NHS something like £160 for each missed hospital appointment so you might also remind them of that fact.
